Hi All

Just an update from the recent inter-county Frostbite shoot 2021 NCAS V BCAA. Another great turn out by the archers thank you to you for coming out and putting the scores in. Thank you to the clubs that have put on shoots etc to get there members involved a big thankyou it’s not easy organising these events so well done!!

90+ archers from NCAS got involved several put more than 1 score in the pot!!
75+ archers from BCAA ( Bedfordshire) came out to play.

Which for myself and Terry & Suzi makes it great and difficult to pick a team size all at the same time. So here we go the usual stuff we have as a round up over a normal day shoot.

Weather was depending where you were so Windy, clam, wet, cold dark light snow!! Chilly etc.

Some great scores put in, Susan Corless from NAC put in a clear score of 360 fantastic shooting!!

Top scoring archer in category for the county:
BB – Mick Lovell (NAC), Compound – Susan Corless (NAC), LB- Jo Thomas (LBAC), Recurve – Jeremy Beesley (BXA), FB – Nial Guiver (WOAC), Junior – Archie Bromley (AOR)

Some of our novices again have made the squad!!! Brilliant stuff so enough of all that I hear you shout who WON!!!!!

It was a close run shoot but here goes the winners by 98 points is BCAA!!! 8506 to 8408.

Huge congratulations to Susan Corless of Northampton AC, for picking up a team silver medal at the Berlin stage of the Archery World Cup, alongside team mates Sarah Moon and Ella Gibson.

The Great Britain Ladies Compound team made it all the way to the gold medal match, where they narrowly missed out to a very on form Turkish team.

This was only Susan’s second World Cup appearance, and the result has moved Susan up in the World Archery rankings by 78 places to 65th. And helped to moved the Great Britain Ladies Compound team up from 8th to 5th.
